Painting the stone walls has spurred me on the paint the platforms that I built three months ago.

I scored the cardboard surfaces so they look like flag stones. Then I painted the surfaces to make them appear old, neglected and dirty. Lots of layers of paint of different colours. Fun to do, and so much easier now I’ve switched to acrylic paints.

The result? Two platforms, painted and glued in place: one for the goods yard (above) and the other for the station (below).
